Chandi Prasad Bhatt
“Let them know we will not allow the felling
of a single tree. When their men raise
their axes, we will embrace the trees to
protect them.”
- Chandi Prasad Bhatt

Chandi Prasad Bhatt
- a quote
“Our movement goes beyond the erosion of
the land, to the erosion of human values.
The center of all this is humankind. If we are
not in a good relationship with the
environment, the environment will be
destroyed, and we will lose our ground. But if
you halt the erosion of humankind,
humankind will halt the erosion of the soil.”
Recognition

Award
As a diverse movement with diverse
experiences, strategies, and motivations,

community-based conservation and
sustainable mountain development.
